What do you think is the best MRE and how do you "prepare" it in order to make it better?

Tuna, or chili mac

in the reserves we got Jimmy Dean lunch bags because we're Twice the Citizen!

They are all the same sorry

Meals Rejected by Ethiopia? As I said before, we have no clue how to manufacture them. The French solved it 30 years ago. Just remember one of the original MREs had a packet called "Bean Component" with a larger note saying "WARNING: NOT FOR FLIGHT OR PREFLIGHT USE". As I said, no clue.

I had some of the "original" MRE's back in the mid 70's. They tasted like cardborad and really weren't eatable. I served with the old "C" rations and loved them. I also had whaht we called LURPS, given to Long Range Patrols. They were much better the the MRS.

Beef stew

Skittles in Applesauce was my favorite treat. Discovered it by accident at Parris Island the first time we had MRE's; before the DI's even told us to surrender the geedunk. Luckily. mine wasn't the only MRE that didn't 'include' it.

Chili Mac in my opinion was the best. Had a jalapeno cheddar cheese spread and the little bottles of tabasco sauce. It's also one of the few MREs that I can eat cold if I have to. Typically whether it's heated or not, I'll open up the pouch, stir in the tabasco sauce and eat it just like that. The cheese spread was a good snack too.

MRE's need go back to the lab,C-rats were alot better,anything that needs rehydrating into food should not be consumed,back in the 80's they were very basic ,nothing beats the good ole john wayne bar in the c-rats,umm umm good

The new chicken feta one is the best in my opinion. With anyone one the best way to eat it is to always mix in the bread/crackers and cheese if you get em after you heat it up.
